How to properly find the size of compression products

Finding the right size

Finding the right size for compression stockings is very important when purchasing them. Learn how to do it right.

The most important part of compression stockings and tights is the ankle. Compression is tightest there, and moving higher up the leg it gradually gets looser. Therefore, the most important size is the ankle circumference, followed by the calf and the thigh. The size chart is included with each product; to determine the size properly, pay attention to the letter designations. See the baseline compression product chart:
